Chapter 2634 — Seeking an Opportunity
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"It's not complicated—could you just help me think of a way?" Hearing You Panhu's tone, Zhao Qibing knew the fellow was looking to dodge the matter and was not to be trusted. He pressed on: "Second Young Master You, we're both people of standing. Once a word is out, it can't be taken back!"
"Of course not!" A flash of inspiration struck You Panhu. "Haven't I been looking for an opening for you all along? You know how troublesome Wei Zhao is—no ordinary man can handle him. I'm helping you take the roundabout route!"
"Oh? So you've thought of a good plan?" Zhao Qibing assumed he was just fobbing him off, and naturally did not believe a word.
"Here's the thing—our school is holding a charity gala in a few days. It works like this..." And You Panhu explained the school's charity gala to Zhao Qibing in detail.
"You mean for me to attend this charity gala too, then join that masquerade, then pick out Wei Zhao and get him to agree to one thing—namely, to break my leg?" Zhao Qibing had grasped his meaning.
"Yes, exactly. Wei Zhao will certainly be there—it's a fine opportunity..." You Panhu had barely gotten half of it out before Zhao Qibing cut him off.
"Wait—from what I know, Wei Zhao isn't one to attend such events, is he? Even if he shows up for the auction, a masquerade seems unlikely—he's not the type to join the crowd," said Zhao Qibing, who knew Wei Zhao well enough to be sure he would normally skip a masquerade.
"That's where you're wrong! According to my inside information, the recipient of this round of donations is the Songshan City Orphanage—and that suggestion came from Wei Zhao himself!" You Panhu said. "Bai Lingtou has already smoothed the way for him, so Wei Zhao will definitely attend this gala. He has to give Bai Lingtou some face—otherwise, what was all Bai Lingtou's help for?"
"The Songshan City Orphanage..." Zhao Qibing's mouth twitched twice. At the mention of that orphanage he wanted to curse aloud. That damned orphanage had been the death of him! He had gained not the slightest advantage, had a whole tower burned down for nothing, and ended up offending Wei Zhao even more deeply... But what was done was done. And if what You Panhu said was true, then Wei Zhao really might attend the masquerade. "So what am I supposed to do? Second Young Master You, this doesn't count as helping me at all! Me going to that masquerade is no better than buying a lottery ticket—if I fail to pick out Wei Zhao, I'll have gone for nothing!"
